Places to visit nearby destination - Jabalpur
Bilhari
 Bilhari is situated at about 14 km from Katni. Archaeological
excavations have unearthed many pieces of ancient sculptures
here.
Mandla
Mandla, located at 95 km south of Jabalpur, is known
for its fort. The fort is situated in a loop of the
Narmada River in such a way that the river protects
it from three sides with a ditch on the fourth. The
fort was built in the late 17th century. Today the fort
is subsiding into the jungle, though some of its towers
still stand. Nearby on a stretch of the Narmada, many
temples dot the riverbank.
National Park of Fossils
 Spread over an area of 0.27 sq km, the National Park
of Fossils is home to plant fossils. Although covering
a very small area, the whole park is strewn with fossils
of a bygone era. The best time to visit the park is
from October to mid-February.
Nohta
Nohta is believed to have been the capital city of
the Chandela kings in the early 12th century. The village
is situated at about 81 km from Jabalpur. About 2 km
from this village lies a Shiva temple. The temple is
the venue of the annual Kartik fair. One can also see
a few ruins of the Jain temples here.
Pench National Park
 The Pench National Park is spread over an area of 293
sq. km. The inhabitants of the park include tiger, leopard,
chital, gaur, sambar, wild boar, muntjac and nilgai.
Ramnagar
About 15 km away from Jabalpur is Ramnagar. Here a
ruined three-storey palace overlooks the Narmada River.
The palace and the fort were both built by Gond kings.
Rookhad
A wildlife sanctuary adjacent to the Pench National
Park, Rookhad is situated at a distance of 101 km from
Nagpur on the National Highway No. 7. A charming retreat
in bison country, Rookhad is worth a visit.
Roopnath
 About 84 km from Jabalpur lies Roopnath. Here a lingam
placed in the cleft of a rock and dedicated to Lord
Shiva is a major source of attraction.
